Try O scale trolley trucks(the term used in the US instead of boggies) on ebay.

Hi SirAlban,

By the dimensions you've shown it looks like you are modellling a narrow gauge Cable Car?

Here's a couple of links for companies, which may help,

http://www.backwoodsminiatures.com/0n3kits.htm (Based in UK)

http://www.grandtline.com/ (Based in US)

http://estore.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=66_71_129 (US Based - this page is for spares for their four wheeled tram- including sideframe parts)

http://www.7mmnga.org.uk/ (UK based group)

Bachmann also do freight car trucks (bogies) as spares as well, which may be appropriate.

Good luck with your searching

Ramirez
